A poet and songwriter since about age 7, you will find many songs and copyrighted  lyrics in this inspired and whimsical work, chronicling Julie's life adventures. 
     In addition to running away and ending up in foster care at 14, Julie rose to the rank of chief before retiring from the US Navy with 6 Navy Achievement Medals and several commendations from admirals. Julie went on to be a lifelong educator with two separate master's degrees although that outcome was far from expected after running away from home and dropping out of high school. 
     Julie has 3 sons and 1 daughter, and at last count, 7 grandkids. She lives with her last and best husband - Paul  Joel Brunetto - who shares her passion for the Christ as well as all their children.
